By definition, treatment-resistant depression is when a patient has tried two or more anti-depressants and some psychotherapy, but did not achieve positive results. Cora Health specializes in “treatment-resistant depression”, offering some of the most advanced therapies: 1) Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) treats depression with patients who have treatment-resistant depression. Meaning that you have tried medications, therapy, or counseling and despite those efforts, you are still experiencing negative symptoms. · TMS is a non-invasive treatment. · TMS requires no anesthesia. Patients can drive to and from the appointment. · TMS has no systemic side effects. · TMS is an FDA-approved therapy for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and smoking cessation. · Most major insurance carriers will cover 70-100 percent of the treatment cost. When a person is experiencing depressive symptoms, neurons that are involved with mood are dormant or not operating at their full capacity. TMS sends magnetic pulses to regions of the brain to stimulate these areas to help reactivate those neurons. Stimulating these areas can relieve depressive and anxious symptoms. The standard protocol is 36 20-minute treatments. The first 6 weeks, the treatments take place Monday-Friday, and the last 3 weeks, they take place 2-3 times a week for a total of 9 weeks. Patients are normally in and out of the office within 25-30 minutes. 2) Medication: Cora Health is a licensed “Spravato Treatment Center”. “Spravato” is the brand name, the medication is Esketamine which is very similar to ketamine. Spravato is administered via a nasal spray. Spravato is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression and is covered by most insurers. Ketamine is not FDA approved for treatment-resistant depression and insurers do not cover the IV administered treatment.
Our Phoenix clinics provide a non-invasive, evidence-based approach for residents seeking relief from major depressive disorder (MDD) and treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Unlike traditional clinical settings, we offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in a medically supervised, comfortable environment. As an FDA-approved treatment, TMS is designed for adults who have not found relief through standard oral antidepressants or who prefer a non-medication alternative. This allows patients from Downtown Phoenix, Scottsdale, and surrounding areas to access brain stimulation treatment without hospitalization or systemic side effects.
Clinical teams in Phoenix focus on achieving symptom relief by stimulating targeted brain regions associated with mood regulation. While traditional antidepressants can take weeks or months to work, TMS often begins to improve depressive symptoms within the first 2-4 weeks of treatment. Our facilities are strategically located throughout the Phoenix metro area to be easily accessible for those living and working in this growing Arizona city. During your initial consultation, we provide a detailed overview of how magnetic stimulation technology targets specific neural circuits to restore healthy mood function.
Every Phoenix location in the TMS Therapy Near Me directory adheres to clinical protocols and standards established by the FDA and psychiatric associations. Every treatment session is overseen by qualified TMS technicians and psychiatric professionals who monitor your progress and adjust treatment parameters as needed. TMS is well-tolerated, and most patients experience only mild scalp discomfort during treatment sessions.
Our Phoenix clinics serve the metro area from locations in Downtown Phoenix, Scottsdale, and surrounding accessible neighborhoods. Because TMS sessions are outpatient procedures, our appointment schedules are designed to fit into professional and family routines, allowing you to continue your daily activities while receiving treatment.
TMS is FDA-approved and has been extensively studied.

During your initial consultation, our psychiatrists will complete a thorough psychiatric assessment to determine which TMS protocol and treatment intensity would be most appropriate for your specific condition and clinical history.
The cost varies based on your individualized treatment plan and number of sessions required. Most major Arizona insurance providers, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona, UnitedHealthcare, and Cigna, cover TMS for depression. Our staff will help you verify coverage and explore patient assistance programs to make treatment accessible.
Clinical teams typically recommend a standard course of 30 sessions over 4-6 weeks. Sessions are usually scheduled 5 days per week and last approximately 30-40 minutes each. Some patients may benefit from additional sessions based on their individual response.
TMS is generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects. The most common experience is mild scalp discomfort or tapping sensations during treatment, which typically subsides quickly. Unlike oral medications, TMS does not cause systemic side effects such as weight gain, sexual dysfunction, or sleep disturbance. Some patients report mild headache or jaw discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Serious side effects are rare.
While a referral is not always required, we do recommend an initial consultation with one of our psychiatrists to assess whether TMS is appropriate for your specific condition and psychiatric history. This ensures you receive the most effective treatment plan tailored to your needs.
